Dr. Alex Gold

Dr. Alex Gold

CEO of BWD North America

A trained biologist with a PhD in resilience science, Alex has an ability to pinpoint exactly how organizations rely on social and natural resources to create value. Lateral thinking comes easily too – a skill he attributes to an unconventional upbringing involving his parents’ seven marriages!

He has worked across two continents as a consummate sustainability professional, having honed his understanding of corporate sustainability in senior management roles at listed companies.

Alex leads BWD’s North America operations, partnering with organizations large and small to transform their sustainability approach. He is an expert in setting up corporate sustainability strategies, delivering integrated reporting, performing scenario analyses, and helping companies prepare for assurance over sustainability disclosure.

Born and raised in the USA, Alex spent over a decade as a professional in Australia and is a dual citizen of both countries.
